In March 2002, a Persona Pentathlon competition was held at Kingdom Arts and Sciences Festival in Atlantia. (Pictures and documentation can be found below.) I felt this was a perfect opportunity to research my new persona. The competition required that each entrant submit five entries from three different categories. I entered two costuming items, one calligraphy item, one illuminated item and one cooking item. I later wrote an article for The Oak, Atlantia's Arts and Sciences newsletter, on my experiences preparing for the competition (see link below). I was thrilled and honored when named as winner of the first Persona Pentathlon.
